"snips and snails and puppy dog tails... that's what little boys are made of!"

we are over the moon excited that baby monaco is a baby boy!

i pictured it being a special day... but my parents/family and close friends made it even better than i had anticipated... i will never forget this day! a lot of work was put into the party and we are very grateful! {after three days straight of country concert going/a family wedding all day saturday= long days and late nights but SO fun.} my parents, sister, and my brother-in-law made lots of great food and i decorated... family friends helped clean and set-up! it was a team effort sunday morning and we could feel the love. {as could baby boy!}

thank you- so much.

here are some photos from the special day!

we found out and celebrated with about fifty loved ones and lots of little kids :)

my parents kept all of our old toys- can't wait for our babies to experience the same joys!

and the boys played with the beanbags and at the pond!

best friends forever- the girl next door and i

one of my best charlotte friends now lives in ohio and showed up!!

and gave baby boy the cutest gift!

lots of family came- i don't get to see them much and loved spending time together!

my mom and sister made an awesome punch- recipe coming soon!

my aunt pam is aMaZinG. she was on #teamgirl and came dressed to impress!

Okay, I'm OBSESSED with this party. Every single detail is perfect. The different straws, the cupcake toppers (I love that the cupcake themselves were pretty and simple white, and the colors were in the toppers), the punch... And your dress is so so cute!

Awww, what beautiful pictures. Everything looks lovely...I love a family and friend affair and what better way to bring it all together then a gender reveal party... Congrats on your soon-to-be bundle of joy...

Nelle! I love all the decorations! My favorite is the first banner! I still haven't decided if we are going to find out our baby's gender when we get pregnant, but all these fun party decorations I see make me want to have a pink and blue party...cute!!

thank you so, so much!! and that topper is from etsy- i love it, too! i think both ways {finding out and not} are fun for different reasons! it was so special and we loved finding out with loved ones! xo
